-- 据FireFox Gold (FFOX.V)周四表示，Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM.TO)已完成芬兰北部Kolho矿区约294万美元的勘探支出。 Agnico Eagle有权通过在2023年12月签署的权益获取协议五周年前投入总计500万美元的勘探支出，获得Kolho矿区51%的权益。其中，200万美元需在特定许可证颁发三周年前投入。 2026年的金刚石钻探计划于3月初在Rova勘探许可证区域启动，钻探了两个钻孔，总深度为464米。3月中旬，钻机转移至Hilla勘探许可证区域继续钻探，以测试地球物理和构造异常。声明称，Hilla新增的三个钻孔总深度为934米。 “Agnico已成为该地区首屈一指的黄金勘探和开采公司，我们很高兴能继续在Kolho项目上与其合作，”FireFox首席执行官Carl Lofberg表示。 “值得注意的是，他们已在系统性的BoT取样和地球物理勘测的基础上完成了两项钻探计划。该矿区的大部分区域仍未得到充分勘探，且地质条件极具吸引力。我们期待正在进行的钻探计划的成果。” 周三，FireFox Gold的股票在多伦多证券交易所创业板收盘下跌0.03美元，至0.63美元。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Otis Worldwide Corporation
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our 12-month target to $90 from $100 following Q1 earnings, valuing OTIS shares at 19.6x our 2027 EPS outlook of $4.58 (down from $4.70; 2026 EPS view updated to $4.18 from $4.25), a modest discount to industrial machinery peers' and OTIS's five-year forward multiple average given unclear timing of ongoing margin headwinds. Service margins were disappointing in Q1 (contracting 160 bps to 23%) amid higher labor and material costs that came in above pricing. Weakness in China has yet to stabilize, though as noted in the past, this represents a shrinking area of OTIS's portfolio and will have a more limited effect going forward. Overall, the latest quarter was more of the same (China weakness/New Equipment decline), though with the added concern of margin quality being pressured within Service - the core profit driver for OTIS overall. While efforts to shore up profitability are underway, we see timing of recovery being uncertain.

Petro Rabigh emerged from a loss in the first quarter, while Thob Al Aseel logged a higher net profit and revenue."The reason for net profit reported during the current quarter compared to a net loss recorded in the same quarter of last year was primarily attributable to improved product margins resulting from stronger refined product pricing and higher sales volumes," Petro Rabigh said in its report.Petro Rabigh rose 10% at closing, while Thob Al Aseel ticked down 1.59%.Meanwhile, the local calendar will be mostly empty except for the kingdom's preliminary figures for its GDP growth rate for the first quarter and the M3 money supply and private bank lending data for March on Thursday.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target price to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.
